"The Wartime Sisters" by Lynda Cohen Loigman

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐✰

Millie and Ruth were very different growing up and didn't have the best relationship. As adults they are brought back together as a direct result of the war and their relationship is still tenuous when someone from their past returns and threatens everything. The Wartime Sisters is a refreshing take on WWII historical fiction. Based entirely in the US it gives a very different and lighter viewpoint than other novels of this genre. A combination of the incredibly well-researched history and Loigman's masterful descriptions made me feel like I was stepping back in time. I especially enjoyed how the different viewpoints allow the reader to see the same situation from multiple perspectives and highlighted how easy it is to misread the intentions of others.
